A carbonate coprecipitation synthesis, simple and easily scalable to industrial level, has been successfully applied to produce Sr- and Mg-doped LaGaO3. The thermal evolution shows that the main perovskite phase crystallizes already at 1000 °C. Samples sintered at 1400 °C for 10 h have a relative density of 93% and an electrical conductivity of 7.7 ∙ 10− 2 S cm− 1 at 800 °C, similar to the one reported for solid state synthesis. The presence of small amounts of secondary phases (about 17%) such as LaSrGaO4 and LaSrGa3O7 does not seem to deeply affect the electrical properties of the final material.

Abstract
A carbonate coprecipitation synthesis, simple and easily scalable to industrial level, has been successfully applied to produce Sr- and Mg-doped LaGaO3. The thermal evolution shows that the main perovskite phase crystallizes already at 1000 °C. Samples sintered at 1400 °C for 10 h have a relative density of 93% and an electrical conductivity of 7.7 ∙ 10− 2 S cm− 1 at 800 °C, similar to the one reported for solid state synthesis. The presence of small amounts of secondary phases (about 17%) such as LaSrGaO4 and LaSrGa3O7 does not seem to deeply affect the electrical properties of the final material.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
